Could this be the issue that has plagued so many 971 Panamera owners? If so, this seems like an easy cure - simply replace the tires.

Unfortunately it's not that simple:

2020 eHybrid ST 33K miles owned since new

Initial round of terrible vibration root-caused to bent wheels. Got them straightened and noise reduced 90%

Just drove 800 mile day across Nevada on dry roads. Moderate vibration that increased to annoying above 85MPH. Some may be related to road surface but I wonder if something else is going on. FWIW interstate highway pavement is terrible across the west. Washboard, potholes, grooves, ruts, uneven lane heights. It's almost like they don't care!

Panamera 4 EH. a CPO with 54k and the vibration has been driving me insane. Traded in a beloved '13 Cayenne GTS with 155k for fear of future problems and ended up in this mess. Multiple trips to the dealership and no solution yet. They've changed control arms, wishbones, and more. Shake appears at 28-30 mph and then again at 57 mph and up. Also have a wrangler plug in hybrid and I've been using that for highway trips for a smoother ride, if that says anything. If anyone figures this out, please let us all know because I'm about to walk from this thing

Sorry to hear you are experiencing the same problem. I have the vibration at the same speeds. Interestingly the 28-30 MPH vibration is almost exactly half the 57 MPH vibration speed.

No vibration under the car
I do however, hear a rattling coming from the rear of the cabin esp. over bumpy roads. it seems to improve to minimal or none when I raise the rear window shades.

2017 Turbo here with 117,000kms. I'm on OEM 21" wheels with all season Pirelli P7's. I sometimes have vibrations from the front and or rear, usually just before 60MPH and it seems to get worse as I go faster. Sometimes, its smooth as butter. I'm going to have a road force balance done on it anyways but I doubt that's my problem. It's driving me crazy. I will report back when I have the road force balance done.

I had both high speed balance and road force balance done - no fix from either. Getting to wit’s end as the dealer sent the car back to me after a “satisfactory road test “ and the shake is still very much there - every bit as bad as before. Most maddening was when, feeling defeated, I took the car to another dealer to have it appraised and they sales manager told me that after driving it he felt I needed new tires …I don’t.

sigh.

I just had road force balancing and match mounting done and the car is perfect!

If the sales manager feels so confident, challenge him to do this together with you:

1. Drive your car and confirm the vibration
2. Drive a demo/loaner unit and confirm no vibration
3. Swap wheel/tires between your car and demo unit.

See which car vibrates now:
If it's the demo unit, he's right and it's your wheel/tires.
If it's your car, you have a "not wheel/tire" issue and hopefully he apologizes and learns a lesson in humility lol.

I've been through balancing, road force balancing, new tires, a second set of tires and rims (winter set) and the dealership installed a brand new set go 20" wheel and tires as a test (both original summer and winter sets are 21"). Nothing made ANY difference.

It's possible that is the front hub. Have you controled the flatness on the rotor and without rotor ?
